One dastard gets it in the groin; another, through the neck. In a tense face-off, Carnegie's main henchman, Redridge (Ray Stevenson), has a gun on the unarmed Eli, who goes eye to eye with him and disarms him with a glance...
...aftermath of media attention that came with his recognition as Person of the Year. They describe a highly competitive atmosphere in which members scrambled to claim key projects and kept certain studies under wraps out of fear that colleagues would poach their ideas.
